THE COUNTY RACES.
Premiums having been assigned
for county trotting races on We'd
nesday, there was a lively interest in
the matter, owing to the fact that
there were TO be sharp contests in
each of the races. The first one was
for two-years-old colts, for a purse
of $50: 20, -, 10 and >. Three
colts were trotted, "Allen Wilkes,
owned bv John Bean of Barton, a
bav colt, sired by Abdallah Wilkes
of Ethan Allen blood on the side Of
the dam; Frank W. Moore own
ed by w. l. Robinson of Barton /;
this also is an Abdallah Wilkes
colt. from the DIR. r.. b. skinner
mare of Harry Allen pedigree :;
Banker" owned by Kimball Bros.
of Albany, from Cyclone (also own
ed by Kimball Bros.) of dam 10y
the old Pratt horse.
There was probably no race that
excited more interest than this. The
colts are all splendid, perfect an
imals, well bred, and so trained that
they showed remarkable speed. They
trotted as handsomely and as steadi-
" as many of the old trotters. These
colts will be heard from hereafter.
The following is the record of the
heats trotted, the time being declared
at about a three minutes gait, though
the heat was only one-half mile:
''Allen Wilkes" / !
"Banker" ?
Crank W. Moore" 3 3
The three-year-old race was trot-
ted by "Lottie Franklin, owned by
Frank Williams, from the noted Ben
Franklin; "HenTy B" owned by
Pete La Pete, and of Henry b. Patch
en- and the Vance horse blood the
colt, Pete" owned by Mr.. Barber
of Sheffield, and "Jennie," owned by
Geo. Monkey. pete is a Morgan
colt. and .'Jennie" a Black Diamond.
"Lottie" was too spry for her rivals,
and she trotted very handsomely.
The record was as follows:
"Lottie Franklin" /
"Henry B" ? 2
s'Pete" 3 3
"Jennie" 4 4
The four-year-old race was trotted
by "Baby NJ" the Amasa Paine colt,
which has shown a remarkable gait
"Charley Ray" one of the Burbank
& Williams animals, of the Ben But
Ter blood; "Nux," a Hambletonian,
owned by d. 5. Mckenzie of Island
Pond and Gotta Quechee." owned by
.. ID. MOssman, the colt being of
the Quechee Lambert sire, Daniel
Lambert blood. "Baby NJ" and
Charley Ray" were protested The
Paine colt is of the Henry b, Auc-
tioneer pedigree, from a fast mare,
and is a very natural trotter The
score stood:
''Baby NJ" IL
"Charlie Ray" p
"Nux" 3 81
Gotta Quechee" Al
The stallion race set for this day
was trotted in the afternoon, between
the fine young stallion, "Young Lam
bert" owned by Mitch Hunt, the old
Hawkins "Black Diamond" owned
by the Blake Boys, and "Black Fox"
owned by Geo. May. "Black Fox"
was not easily controlled and fell 10
the rear. Lambert" supposed he
had it his own way, but old ''Dia-
mond" made it so interesting for him
that it was only by the narrowest mar
gin that he saved his heats. Record

Thursday opened pleasant and the
were favorable for a large
and successful racing.
We do not remember ID many years
a set of trOtting races on these
grounds where races were more hotly
where there was such an
show Of fairness, and a
more civil and orderly crowd Of peo-
pie attending than on this day
The fact that several horses were
owned in the county and vicinity and
that the heats were sharp and close,
made the interest intense.
In the three-minute race. ssTel-
